Why not challenge the Romo fumble there? It seemed close enough for a challenge. Might not have won it with the hometown refs, but that was a real critical moment of the game. His knee looked down to me. :confused:

I don't think that it's challengeable.
 
It really wasn't that close. Now I would have loved to see Witten's long pass reviewed. Never saw a close up look at him stepping out but I would have thrown the flag to make sure he went out.
 
no need for it if Romo secures the ball when he starts to run. he was holding it sloppy. just needs to keep his head better focused on ball security in that situation. get what yards you can and maybe the TD but don't lose the ball

Looked like the ball came out simultaneously with his knee hitting the turf. Normally, I don't like sure loser challenges, but this seemed close enough to me at that point in the game to take a chance. I don't know; whatever; I guess; I think I am going to be ill.
 
It really wasn't that close to be honest. Every shot they showed it was clear the ball was falling to the ground before his knee went down. There is honestly no chance Dallas wins that challenge so it would simply be throwing a Time out away to try.

I guess I will have to look again. ;)
 
I am assuming that they felt they would lose the challenge and didnt want to waste a time out.
